Two boys at a prestigious boarding school have been arrested over a knife attack on another pupil, police said.
A 17-year-old sustained a minor cut to his arm from a craft knife after a fight broke out in one of the boarding houses at Stowe School in Buckinghamshire.
A Thames Valley Police spokesman said officers were called to the school at 12.51am on Sunday morning.
The injured boy was treated at Milton Keynes General Hospital before being released at about 3am.
A 17-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy, both pupils at the school, are being held by police on suspicion of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
A spokeswoman for Stowe School, which has boarding fees of just under £30,000 a year, said a number of items were removed from the school by officers including a craft knife.
She said there were no previous incidences of pupils possessing knifes.
The other boys in the boarding house have been told of the incident and were being reassured by staff today.
Headmaster Dr Anthony Wallersteiner said in a statement: "Aggressive behaviour will never be tolerated here.
"All our pupils are aware that Stowe does not condone violence and adopts a policy of zero tolerance in any unacceptable use of a knife."
